Smelling the aroma coming from the yard, Xu Ziqian couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Mo Yun stepped forward and saluted, "This son, who are you looking for?" ”

"I'm looking for Young Master Ouyang, is he there?"

"And us." Aunt Xu stepped forward with her son, "I know your sister Mu, she asked me to come." ”

Mo Yun sighed, "I heard Sister Mu talk about you." Everyone is here, please come in! ”

All the way in, Xu Ziqian and Aunt Xu looked around all the way.

This house was actually supposed to be very good, and when you enter the door, you go around a rockery, which is an open courtyard. The house behind the courtyard should be the first courtyard, but it was seriously damaged, and now the doors and windows have been completely demolished, leaving only the pillars, forming an extremely spacious corridor, and you can see the second courtyard at the back transparently.

It was a two-story building, and it was supposed to be a place for visitors, but because it was well preserved, all the doors and windows that could be used were dismantled and installed there, and it was changed into a place to live.

The left and right sides of the attached transept, one made a utility room, and the other was converted into a kitchen.

The aroma of the food came from the kitchen, and from the open window, Sister Mu could be seen pulling out the drawer from a strangely shaped square iron cage, then peeling off a layer of snow-white skin, smearing something on it, and putting it in again.

Seeing them come in, Sister Mu smiled, "Please sit in the room for a while, just to taste my new food." ”

As he was talking, he saw Ouyang Kang coming out of the building, and he had just seen someone coming upstairs. So I hurriedly changed into clean clothes, but there was still dust left on my hair, and it looked like I was cleaning.

Away from afar, he arched his hand apologetically at Xu Ziqian, "I'm sorry, the family is too messy, it's really lazy." ”

"There's nothing to do, nothing to do." Although Xu Ziqian was curious about the big thing that Nianfu was fiddling with, he came today because he had something else serious, "Ouyang Gongzi, can you borrow a place to talk?" ”

That's going to be said separately.

Ouyang Kang went inside. "If it's not shabby. Please go upstairs and sit down. ”

Aunt Xu didn't follow her, she and Lian'er were obviously more interested in the food that Nianfu fiddled with, so they gave the gift and said a few polite words. I stayed downstairs.

"You're really breaking the bank." Take advantage of the gap. Nian Fu smiled and looked at the yellow-faced and thin-skinned tethered child. "I used to think that the tether was a little weird, yesterday I recognized a doctor Grandpa Gao came over and asked a few words for him, but I didn't expect Grandpa Gao to say. It's very likely that there are worms in the stomach. Believe it or not, he still has some white spots on his face. ”

Aunt Xu was taken aback when she heard this, and then looked at her son's face in the sun, and sure enough, she could see faint round spots one by one, "It's strange that the tether always says that her stomach hurts, and sometimes you can see it when you rub it, could it be that there are insects to blame?" ”

"Isn't it? I've seen you several times when I was staying at your house. It stands to reason that at his age, the amount of food is not bad, and he really shouldn't be able to raise a bad one. ”

Lian'er herself was a little scared when she heard it, "Sister Mu, what should I do?" ”

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Aunt Xu hurriedly comforted her son, "Isn't it just a worm?" My mother once heard a home remedy in the countryside, using a fried gentleman to govern, can you make it? ”

In her last sentence, of course, she asked about Nianfu. The girl laughed, "Of course." Grandpa Gao also said the same, but the gentleman who fried the good Lu had to take two capsules a day per year according to the age of the child, and the maximum should not exceed 20 pills a day, chewing it in three times, and taking it for three days for a course of treatment. If you hit the worm, if it doesn't work, eat it again, if it doesn't work, you have to find a serious doctor to take a look, so as not to delay the child's growth and harm him for a lifetime. ”

Aunt Xu nodded again and again when she heard this, tethering is her lifeline, how can she not care? "I'll buy it on the way back in a moment. It's really ashamed to say that I, a mother, didn't even pay attention to it, but Sister Lao Mu'er is worried. ”

"It's all so familiar, what's polite? Since Lian'er calls me a sister, I naturally have to pay attention to him. ”

Over there, Xu Ziqian followed Ouyang Kang upstairs, only to find that the house was really big. Looking at it, I realized that what I originally saw was less than one-fifth of this house, but the grass behind it was overgrown and dilapidated, even if I looked at it in broad daylight, it was also gloomy, no wonder it was called a ghost house.

Although this small building has been renovated, there is not much furniture in it, just a round table and two chairs by the window, even if it is a simple living room.

An older maid came up to offer tea, and Ouyang Kang apologized again, "It's too simple and slow, and I hope Xu Gongzi won't dislike it." ”

"There's nothing to do, nothing to do." Xu Ziqian took a sip of tea before asking, "Ouyang Gongzi, although you and I have only met once, but I was in harmony with you that day, but I introduced you as a confidant." With all due respect, why did you have to move here? ”

Ouyang Kang obviously didn't want to talk about it, "It's really hard to say. It's not that I don't want to tell the truth, it's really about my family, so I can't say much. Xu Gongzi, what are you looking for me today? ”

Xu Ziqian hesitated slightly, "You also know that my father is in the Guozijian service, and today I just heard the news that the emperor is very gracious and has given the Guozijian a thousand places, and all those who fail and miss the examination are allowed to take the examination again, and those who win the examination will have the opportunity to participate in the next imperial examination of the imperial court next year." ”

Seeing that Ouyang Kang was not very surprised, Xu Ziqian was a little strange, "Could it be that Gongzi has already known the Tao, so why did you still move out?" ”

This time it was Ouyang Kang's turn to feel strange, "Although I don't know about this matter, what does it have to do with me moving out of the house?" ”

Xu Ziqian smiled sarcastically, "Ouyang Gongzi, I treat you as a confidant, why do you always come with me to these vains?" I know that you left the table that day, because you couldn't stand the humiliation, and now that you leave home, you also fell out with Ling Zun, right? ”

Ouyang Kang's face changed.

Xu Ziqian smiled a little bitterly, "Do you think that I was very shameless and willing to degenerate when I drank with others that day?" I know that you are the eldest son of the Ouyang family, I don't know if you understand the hardships of the concubine. The eldest brother of my family is stupid and stupid, and he is not as good as me in anything, but because he occupies the name of his grandson, he oppresses me in everything. This time the exam was too, I was supposed to go, but because he was the eldest son, he had to go. Before leaving, my father also asked me to make a belt to bring him into the examination room, but I didn't expect that day to be extremely strict, at the level of the eldest brother, of course, it was Sun Shan. My father is willing to take me to your house for a banquet, just because he wants me to cling to a powerful person and find a way out. ”

Ouyang Kang couldn't bear to listen, "Since you have the wisdom to learn, why don't you seize this opportunity and strive for high school?" ”

"How easy is it to say?" Xu Ziqian smiled coldly, "Should you admit all the 1,000 places fairly?" If it is still the Pingguo Gong invigilator, I am naturally not afraid, but this time it is the Guozijian who takes the exam himself. And all candidates must be introduced. My father couldn't introduce me because he was hired in the Guozijian to avoid suspicion, so he asked me to find a way by myself, do you know what this means? ”

Ouyang Kang's heart sank, "You mean, I have to go back to my father too?" ”

Xu Ziqian looked at him sympathetically, "Unless you can find other officials or the doctor of Guozijian to introduce you, you must be low on this head." ”

Ouyang Kang was choked and speechless.

Unlike the solemn atmosphere upstairs, the food downstairs is ready.

The snow-white and shiny powder skin is sandwiched with the golden egg skin, and then wrapped with fried minced meat and vegetables and light soy sauce mixed with the seasoning, rolled into a ball, cut into small pieces with a spatula, and put a piece into the mouth, which is fresh and soft, and indescribably delicious. You don't have to taste it, just standing upstairs, looking at the surprise on the faces of Sister-in-law Xu and Lian'er below, as well as Wangcai's little useless licking the girl's feet, pleasing the little ones who want to go up, you can know how delicious this thing is.

Sensing the sight upstairs, the girl beckoned to him with a bright smile, "Come down!" ”

Ouyang Kang suddenly only felt that the haze in his heart was nothing at all, and then smiled, "Young Master Xu, go down and taste my family's new food, don't worry if you haven't eaten it." ”

Xu Ziqian raised his eyes in astonishment, did he hear it wrong? I'm not talking about the matter of the country's eunuch, why do you suddenly talk about food? But looking at the smile on Ouyang Kang's face, it really didn't look like a disguise, he couldn't help asking, "Could it be that Ouyang Gongzi already had a way to deal with it, so he was so relaxed?" ”

Ouyang Kang's eyes were clear, and he told him frankly, "Before I went to Beijing, my teacher once gave me a letter, saying that if I encountered difficulties, I could go to Guozijian to find a Dr. Su for help. I didn't think I needed it, but now it looks like I'm going to have to trouble people. ”

Xu Ziqian was suddenly taken aback, "Su, Dr. Su? But do you know ......?"

Ouyang Kang nodded, indicating that he already knew the truth, "The teacher said that Mr. Su is very knowledgeable. Besides, how bad can it be now? ”

Xu Ziqian choked and understood what he meant.

Thinking about it, I was a little excited, do you want to go with him to visit Mr. Su? But after thinking about it again, he secretly shook his head, compared to those hypocrites in the officialdom, this kind of real villain is better not to be contaminated.

Ouyang Kang smiled faintly, and without saying anything, he took him downstairs to eat.

When Xu Ziqian left, he couldn't help but persuade again, "Ouyang Gongzi, why don't you walk around with me, what does it matter if the husband can bend and stretch, and endure the humiliation for a while?" When we go to the court in the coming day, wearing vermilion and purple, who will account for such a trivial matter? ”

Ouyang Kang shook his head resolutely, "Young Master Xu, Xie Lu thank you for your kindness and came to inform me of this news." But I don't have any more to say. Since you have persuaded me so kindly, then I will also give you a word. It's true that a husband can bend and stretch, but I'm even more afraid of falling into a handle and leaving behind eternal regrets. If you regret it, come to me. Although he is not talented, he must try his best to fulfill you and me. ”

Xu Ziqian was silent, and left without saying anything. (To be continued......)
